REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Members
LQD Adrenalina, LLC and Subsidiaries
Miami, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LQD Adrenalina, LLC. and Subsidiaries (the "Company" or "LQD") as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LQD Adrenalina, LLC. and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Inventories
Retail Merchandise
The Company's retail inventories are comprised of extreme sports and adventure life-style equipment and clothing. It is valued at the lower of cost or market using the weighted average cost method that approximates the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Average cost includes the direct. purchase price of merchandise inventory and shipping costs.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets under lease.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of trademarks and brand names, are tested for impairment annually as of December 31 and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of these assets.
Pre-opening Costs
Pre-opening costs, which consisted primarily of payroll, training, marketing, rent, travel and supplies, are expensed as incurred.
Leases
The Company leases its main office, warehouse and store locations, which are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and subsequent amendments, which require that leases be evaluated and classified as operating or capital leases for financial reporting purposes.
Certain leases contain scheduled rent increases, and may include an initial period of free or reduced rent as an inducement to enter into the lease agreement ('rent holidays"). The Company recognizes rental expense for rent increases and rent holidays on a straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying leases, without regard to when rent payments are made. The calculation of straight-line rent is based on the "reasonably assured" lease term as defined in SFAS No. 98, Accounting for Leases: Sale-Leaseback Transactions Involving Real Estate, Sales Type Leases of Real Estate, Definition of the Lease Term, and Initial Direct Costs of Direct Financing Leases-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 13, 66, and 91 and a rescission of SFAS Statement No. 26 and Technical Bulletin No. 79-11. This amended definition of the lease term may exceed the initial non-cancelable lease term.
